On December 22, 1995, in the early morning of the winter solstice, in front of a bank near the Panyu Yifa shopping mall in Guangzhou, several gunshots rang out, and a cash truck loaded with 15 million yuan in cash was hijacked, and a banknote escort on the car was shot dead. This armed robbery case, which involved the largest amount of money since the founding of New China, shocked the whole country. After more than 20 years of unremitting pursuit of the murderer, Guangdong ** successfully arrested the last suspect in the case on January 5, 2017.
Recently, the movie "The Eighth Suspect", which is based on the Panyu 15 million yuan robbery, was released, and this shocking case and the unremitting pursuit of the murderer have once again attracted much attention. A reporter from Yangcheng Evening News interviewed three witnesses of the case and listened to them tell the real stories of the big cases that were put on the screen.
Criminal policeman Wang Yongbo: "For more than 20 years, we have never given up chasing the murderer".
The person in this ** is me. In December this year, Wang Yongbo, a retired police officer from the Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, came to visit the Guangzhou Police History Exhibition and recognized his ** in the exhibition board at a glance.
The moment of this ** freeze frame is December 24, 1995 - the third day of the 15 million yuan robbery in Panyu. The young man in ** was Wang Yongbo, the deputy squadron leader of the technical squadron of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Panyu Public Security Bureau at the time. He was leaning over to extract physical evidence from the cracks in the seats of a van, his second investigation of the cash truck.
Wang Yongbo recalled that after the incident, the province set up many checkpoints on land and waterways to chase and intercept the suspects. On December 23, ** received a report from the masses that a van was parked on the side of a river in Shunde, and there were multiple iron boxes in the car. After receiving the report, he rushed to the scene to investigate as soon as possible and found that the car was the cash transport vehicle robbed by the criminal.
After 28 years, Wang Yongbo still remembers the situation when he first arrived at the scene: a white sea lion van with the brand name "Yue AR0747" was parked on the side of a river in Shunde, and on the right front seat of the front of the car, a banknote clerk wearing ** was lying on the car, who had been dead for a long time, and there were a lot of blood stains and gunshots on the seat. There were also several tin boxes containing money, some of which had been pried open.
Through multiple investigations at the scene, Wang Yongbo and his colleagues extracted a large amount of trace evidence, according to which they found that the clues of the case pointed to Qingyuan, and locked the suspects He Yongxin and He Weiguang, and then expanded the line to find out the remaining suspects in the case, especially the "No. 1 suspect" - master Chen Xinmin. Their discovery opened a key breakthrough for the investigation of the case.
However, the matter did not fulfill people's wishes, and for more than 20 years, the main culprit in the case, Chen Xinmin, was on the run until January 5, 2017, when he was arrested in Ruili, Yunnan. Wang Yongbo told reporters that in the more than 20 years since he absconded from the case, Chen Xinmin has bleached his identity, married a wife and had children, and heard that he has become a big boss, but as soon as he saw the police from Guangzhou, he immediately knew what was going on.
To this day, recalling this shocking case again, Wang Yongbo said eight words with emotion: Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. "For more than 20 years, we haven't given up. Many of the comrades who were at the scene at the time have already retired, but we have passed it down from generation to generation, relayed the pursuit of the culprit, and will never give up until this case is solved. ”
Wang Yongbo also said that with the progress of modern science and technology and the iterative innovation of police technology, the level of social security prevention and control in Guangzhou has changed dramatically compared with the 90s of the last century. In such a safe environment, criminals will definitely not be able to escape.
Propaganda policeman Zhou Xiaohui: Charge with a camera to record the process of "tracking down and arresting robbers".
Recently, Zhou Xiaohui, a retired police officer from the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department, watched the hit movie "The Eighth Suspect" and recalled the thrilling experience 28 years ago.
In December 1995, when the news of the Panyu armed robbery case came, Zhou Xiaohui, then a photojournalist and director of the interview department of the Guangdong Public Security Daily, and his colleagues immediately followed the police and rushed to the scene where the cash transport truck was found in Shunde as soon as possible. Subsequently, he successively followed the process of case detection, and went to Panyu, Zhuhai, Qingyuan, Guangxi and other places to interview and shoot.
On January 8, 1996, the Guangdong Public Security Daily published a special issue on the investigation of the Panyu extraordinarily large banknote robbery case, which disclosed in detail the entire investigation process of the case. This newspaper has been treasured by Zhou Xiaohui for nearly 28 years.
Extracting traces and physical evidence at the scene, identifying items left at the scene, police dogs searching, suspects arrested, interrogation ......In the special issue, Zhou Xiaohui used a group of ** to show the unremitting process of the Guangdong Public Security to "track down and capture robbers".
This is our public security officers who arrested the first suspect He Yongxin in Liuzhou, and then arrested the second suspect He Weiguang. Later, we followed to Yangshan, Qingyuan, during which we heard that there were clues in Guangxi, and drove to Guangxi continuously, and when we came back, we heard that Yangshan caught the criminals He Donghai and Yuan Changrong. Later, the criminal Wu Zhaoquan was arrested in Teng County, Guangxi, ......Looking at the ** in the newspaper, Zhou Xiaohui recalled the reporting process of the year, and the past is vivid.
Witnessing police history with real images, Zhou Xiaohui is known as "the policeman who charges with a camera". Looking back at the past, he was still moved by the spirit of the Guangdong public security that was "particularly capable of fighting." He told reporters that the conditions for solving the case back then were not the same as now, and many traces and physical evidence needed to be found at the scene little by little, and many clues to solve the case needed to be pursued little by little. Today, we not only have a strict prevention network, but also a strong scientific and technological force to back it upThere are not only the bright eyes of the masses, but also the magnificent "eyes of the sky".
I feel that this kind of case is very difficult to happen again. Zhou Xiaohui told reporters that in his impression, after the 15 million yuan robbery in Panyu, the safety of cash trucks has been paid attention to, and the escort team has gradually become professional, the level of public security prevention in the whole society has been continuously improved, and the people's sense of security has become stronger and stronger.
Political and legal reporter Liu Hailing: **Speak out and promote the standardization of banknotes.
After 28 years, talking about the Panyu robbery again, Liu Hailing, president of the China Evening News Workers Association and former party secretary and president of Yangcheng Evening News Group, still remembers it vividly. "15 million yuan in cash, I have the impression that it is the largest armed robbery case in China. ”
At that time, Liu Hailing was a political and legal reporter of the "Yangcheng Evening News", and he interviewed and reported many major cases that shocked the whole country. On December 22, 1995, after the robbery, Liu Hailing followed up as soon as possible, and then followed closely step by step, exclusively revealing many behind-the-scenes stories of solving the case. Until January 5, 2017, the last suspect in this shocking case was arrested, and when Liu Hailing learned the news, he blurted out the person's name: Chen Xinmin.
This case was wonderfully solved. Recalling the details of the investigation, tracking, and arrest, Liu Hailing sincerely admired the Guangdong public security police. From Guangzhou to Yangshan, Lianzhou, and even Guangxi, he witnessed the hardships of the police all the way to chase and escape, and was also moved by their unremitting spirit of solving cases. "The Guangdong public security is well-known for its deterrent effect on criminals, and all the influential cases of the year have been solved. In his opinion, this particularly combat-ready team has both the country's first-class traces and firearms inspection technology, as well as a solid mass foundation, so that all the murderers who have been on the run for many years can be arrested and brought to justice.
In addition to the case itself, Liu Hailing believes that the reform impact brought about by this case is more far-reaching. In that year, in the case report, through in-depth research, he found loopholes in bank banknotes: the economic police did not get out of the car to guard, and the vehicles were ordinary vans. As a result, Liu Hailing and a number of colleagues spoke out one after another, calling for the standardization of the economic police money system, specific to personnel, firearms, stations, etc.
Reflect on the current situation from the perspective of a third party and give full play to the supervision function. "Under the promotion of the Panyu robbery, all banking systems in Guangdong have gradually improved to form a set of strict banknote procedures: after the banknote truck arrives, the economic police stand at the four corners of the banknote car with guns and escort the banknote pickers. As a result, a robbery case rewrote the standard action of banks to be seized by the police. "The living environment is so safe now, and it is inseparable from the foundation laid back then. Liu Hailing said.
Now, the Panyu robbery has been adapted and put on the big screen and returned to the public eye. As a witness, Liu Hailing was particularly touched. In his view, journalists should continue to play their role as sentinels and lookouts of the times, and promote the benign interaction between the people and functional departments in their reporting, so as to promote social progress.
